"Stupid people. It's my doping": Usyk responds to Fury cheating allegations
Former absolute world heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk (22-0, 14 KOs) categorically rejected the accusations that he had unfairly defeated Tyson Fury (34-1-1, 24 KOs). In particular, our compatriot reacted sharply to the conspiracy theory that he used an inhaler after a difficult sixth round in the May 18 fight.
Usyk said this in an interview with the Boxing King Media YouTube channel. According to the Ukrainian boxer, he has never tried to outwit judges or fans by using prohibited techniques or substances, and he also spoke about the hardest punch Fury ever hit him with.

"When Tyson Fury hit me with that uppercut, it was like 'Boom! You've seen in cartoons how a character gets hit in the head and stars start spinning around him. It was just like that. I just had a lot of noise in my head. I told myself I had to move. Between rounds, I asked my coach for a cross. I kissed him, it gave me strength. Stupid people say that he gave me something forbidden. Listen: I have never used any illegal substances. I am clean. God is my dope. My family, team, country. This is my doping. That's enough," Usyk said.
